QuakeCon 2010 and Starcraft 2

f0rkz — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:24:02 +0000

Well, I broke down and got Starcraft 2 last night. I am actually glad I did. I needed something to make me not bored with video games.

Here is what I traded in for the game:

Demon’s Souls
Guitar Hero World Tour
Army of Two
Haze
Amerasians Creed 2
Lair
Heavy Rain (yeah, I know. But you can only beat it so much.)

Which brought me a whopping $90. Not bad for three good games and a bunch of shit games. I also tried to trade in my guitar for Guitar Hero. They wouldn’t take it. Anyone want a free PS3 guitar for Guitar Hero? Its wireless!

So far the game does not disappoint. The single player is surprisingly good for Blizzard. The main problem I had with anything that came from the Blizz franchise is the following of horrid fans that come from their games. The fact that Blizz is also a complete whore for money. But whats wrong with a little profit? Maybe that last remark was out of pure jealousy over their success.

Either way, have a shiny trailer for the game.

Moving on… The post below with me raging like a lunatic was what happens when I take a lot of cold medicine and aren’t feeling good. Thankfully I am back to feeling better.

Quakecon 2010 is right around the corner! Like, literally, right around the corner.

I can’t freaking wait! It is going to be a great trip this year. Only problem is Mike not going We had a good time getting completely plastered and wandering around the hotel last year.

I am also bringing my clearwire USB dongle this year to get steam working. Joy of joys! I can’t wait! I didn’t make a promo for Quakecon this year. Maybe another time? Mostly don’t want to because I gave my Macbook away and windows movie maker kinda blows.

Vacation here I come!

What bear is best?

Greetings fellow f0rkzneters. I guess in my drunken haze Saturday, I set up a TF2 server complete with stats! 24/7 2fort. I think I was angry F7 didn’t have one, so I made a better one with blackjack and hookers.

Well, I’ll be. I even added a hostname for it! I was a determined drunk on Saturday!

Left 4 Dead 2 Stats!

Looks like someone modified msleeper’s code and made a left 4 dead 2 stats plugin! I went ahead and installed it on my server. Need to test it, but so far it looks like it works. Check out the stats page!

Happy new year everyone! Hope you all stay safe tonight!

New Laptop!

I had a good weekend! Got to hang with sp00nz and tricky as well as shell. The best part about this weekend is the new laptop I got!

Its quite the hoss:

Model: Alienware m15x
CPU: Intel Core i7 Q720 @ 1.60 GHz
Memory: 4.00 GB DDR3
Video: Nvidia 260M 1GB
OS: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium

Here are some shots from me taking things out of the box and the computer itself.

This should help me when I am travelling around. Mostly going to help a lot when I go over to tricky’s house to game. Hope everyone had a good Christmas! Back to work!

Edit: OH! In case you guys haven’t seen, F7Lans.com has a lan party coming up Jan 8th! Everyone should go check it out!
